The 90-minute session adds Japanese facial massage, longer scalp work and extra care steps. Afterwards we show you the microcamera images again when there's a visible difference and give you home-care recommendations for your scalp type.
We combine traditional Japanese head spa massage with professional scalp-care equipment:
The main tool is still the therapist's hands. Most of the session is manual work, because hand technique is what reaches the scalp muscles, supports circulation and brings real relaxation.
Products are chosen after diagnostics, not before: Morphosis, Amika, color-safe shampoos, professional detanglers, a cooling tea tree mask and rosemary oil.
Alongside head spa therapy we offer three facial treatments, performed by licensed estheticians in the same quiet studio, by appointment.
Each facial is 90 minutes and can be booked on its own. If you want both scalp and face in one visit, the 90-minute Head Spa + Japanese Facial Massage ($145) combines them.
Best for: congested pores, blackheads, skin that needs a thorough clean.
A full-face deep pore cleanse combined with traditional Asian facial massage:
Best for: the deepest clean plus hydration, dull or tired-looking skin.
Our most complete facial, built around a professional hydrofacial system:
Best for: skin that looks tired or less firm; no extractions involved.
A sculpting facial massage using traditional Japanese lifting techniques:
The effect comes from four things working together: deep scalp cleansing, better microcirculation, released muscle tension and professional care for the scalp and hair. Most clients feel lighter and calmer right after the first visit. For lasting scalp health we usually recommend a session every 3 to 6 weeks.
A head spa is not a medical treatment. If hair loss is linked to a medical or hormonal condition, please see a physician; read more about hair and scalp health from the American Academy of Dermatology and about massage therapy research from the National Institutes of Health.
No need to wash your hair. It's better if you don't: we can assess your scalp in its natural state and choose the right program.
Our team are licensed estheticians in the United States. We learned Japanese head spa technique in Central Asia, adapted it to US professional standards and completed further training in China in modern scalp care, massage and service technique. We keep training on an ongoing basis.
AURA was founded by Assel Kurasheva, who brought the head spa tradition from Kazakhstan to Pittsburgh as an independent studio, not a chain.
Licensing and sanitation rules for estheticians in Pennsylvania are set by the State Board of Cosmetology.
Every session starts with diagnostics, so the program is built around your scalp, not a fixed menu. A private studio inside Sola Salons at Ross Park Mall, minutes from McCandless, Wexford and Allison Park.
A Japanese head spa is a treatment for the scalp rather than the hair: scalp diagnostics, deep cleansing, steam, water therapy and extended hands-on massage, finished with a mask and blow-dry. Unlike a quick head massage at a salon, the whole session is built around the condition of your scalp. At AURA it takes 60 or 90 minutes.
At AURA, the Classic Japanese Head Spa is $110 for 60 minutes and the Head Spa + Japanese Facial Massage is $145 for 90 minutes. Sessions for two are $190 and $250; for three, $285 and $375. Prices include scalp diagnostics and a complimentary neck, shoulder and arm massage.
Yes. We offer a Deep Facial ($140), an Asian Diamond Hydrofacial ($200) and an Anti-Age Face Massage ($120), each 90 minutes and performed by licensed estheticians. Facials can be booked on their own or combined with head spa.
Every 3 to 6 weeks for ongoing scalp health, depending on your scalp type and how quickly buildup returns. After your first session we tell you which interval makes sense for you.
No. Come as you are. Unwashed hair helps the microcamera diagnostics show your scalp in its natural state, so we can choose the right products and program.
Please reschedule if you have open wounds, an active scalp infection, significant inflammation, severe psoriasis in a flare, or a fever. Pregnancy is not a contraindication: we adapt the treatment and position you comfortably.
Yes. Couples and friends are treated together in the same quiet room. A 60-minute session is $190 for two or $285 for three; a 90-minute session is $250 for two or $375 for three.
Yes. We work with all hair types, including thick, curly, fine and color-treated hair. With extensions we use a gentler technique so the bonds aren't disturbed. For dreadlocks or braids, call (412) 844-0382 before booking so we can agree on the safest version of the treatment.
We're open every day from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, by appointment only. Book online at auraspa.glossgenius.com or call (412) 844-0382. A card holds the appointment; you pay after the treatment.
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows may be charged 30% of the service price.
Yes. Digital gift cards can be bought online, never expire and work for any service. Printed gift certificates are available in the studio.
